Don't forget the fuel filter. Start with the cheap stuff first.

O2, fuel, air, oil, pcv, plugs, should run under $100. Then go wires, coil packs (if needed) and on.....

If you have a 95, and your wires are the stock gray numbered wires from the factory, you need them.

Ask Hector about his price on Taylors, then pick your color. Red, Black, Blue, Green, and Yellow?

Rear plugs aren't much harder than the front. Not bad at all. The socket is the smaller of the 2 standard plug sockets. 5/8".

Plug gap should be 0.060".

Even though mine is an SSE, it couldn't be that much heavier.

Only a couple hundred pounds. Depends on what you had for dinner. Take out your spare tire (the one in the trunk, not under the belt) and you'll be about even with an SE (jack too).

Lets see what we can do to get that white beast back on track. Your O2 won't normally cause a performance issue. I'd start with the plugs and wires. You've lost some power somewhere.

I think it will take a bit more than the spare and jack to even things up. Run with a quarter tank of gas; empty the pocket lint out of your pockets; vacuum the car out; remove the floor mats; have a friend stand outside with your proof of insurance, driver'* license, and registration; remove your shirt; and fast for three days. That should help your times out
